Female
Default Option: Yes, but not blank

make note of the field id

Template edit:
in postbit(_legacy)
find

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

add under

<if condition="$post[fieldX] != Undisclosed"><div>Gender: $post[fieldX] <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/gender_$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" /> </div></if>

Change X to the field id
And yer done
For the images to work you would need to upload a

images/misc/gender_male.gif and gender_female.gif

If you dont have or want images remove the img tag

one thing, if you people are using a unix system (where case matters), if the gender fields are "Male" and "Female", for this hack, you will need the image filenames to be "gender_Male.gif" and "gender_Female.gif" because it uses those fields to determine the filename. Hope this helps some of you with images not showing up

This happened to me as well. Isn't the Gender field not supposed to appear at all in the postbit if "Undisclosed" is selected?

Never mind. I fixed this problem myself. I find it's easier to have the default option blank instead of using "Undisclosed," revising the HTML code accordingly, and placing the Gender option between the Location and Age field rather than by itself underneath the IM icons.

Revised code (X = field ID):

<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div>Gender: $post[fieldX] <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/gender_$post[fieldX].gif" alt="$post[fieldX]" /></div></if>

HTML tag the code is placed after:

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

I hope these revisions help everybody else as much as they have helped me.

Doesn't work for me. This is very similar to the country flag mod... that one works for me, this one not. Nothing shows up.

Ah, I used your coding, and now it works like a charm. Thanks.

The biggest complaint that I have seen to date on this is that they have done everything the way it says to do, but it doesn't show up.

There is a minor issue that seems to be forgotten OR misread in the original (1st) post of this thread. It is

Template edit:
in postbit(_legacy)
find

People are misinterupting the postbit(_legacy). This is meant to be BOTH templates:
postbit & postbit_legacy.

The reason for this is because of the definition below:

postbit_legacy: old-style postbit, using two vertical columns

postbit: the new horizontal layout

More than likely they have edited one of the templates and are in the other type view mode. With that said, it is just easier to edited both templates.

I hope this clears up some issues.

Cheers

How do i add it so that the members that has not selected this wotn show up in the postbit ?

An if statement i think. I yust want to show it if the users have chosen it in the profile.

[CSMatt]

Try using the revisions I made to the mod.

[mahiraminc]

Okay folks this works great. I need to know what the variable $post should be changed to in order to display this on the Who's Online page? Please help.

Hi,

It doesn't seem to be working. It says Male Male instead of showing the image
